FAMILY FROM POLAND LOOKING FOR A FAMILY FROM THE USA.
From my analyses, searches and extracts from archival files, I found out that one of the sisters of my grandmother Stanisława, who left Poland for the USA after 1910, is Karolina Zasada. Born on October 24, 1891 in Kowal/Włocławka. Karolina in 1909 .at the age of 19 she married Feliks Zasada (born 1890), and a year later, in 1910, their son Władysław Zasada was born. (I have confirmation of this in the files). After a month of searching, I came across Family Seach and there I found a marriage that matched 95% of my searches (same data, dates, etc.). The second of my grandmother's sisters could have been Agnieszka Zasada, born in 1894. My grandmother Stanisława was the youngest of the siblings, born in 1906 and died in 1961.
Can any of you advise me where to look next, how to reach extended family, how to find any contact with the next generation?
Thank you in advance.
And I'm waiting for information

I'm not sure from your post exactly what information you are looking for. You can find the passenger list with Karolina and her son on the Ellis Island Collection on FamilySearch. She was indexed poorly so to find her type "Roxola Fasada" in the search box. Both she and Agnes (Agnieszka) settled in Buffalo and both lived on Detroit Street. Agnes married first, Jan Wudazaski and second, Bronislaus Farszmil.
I would suggest that putting the rest of the family together might be more easily accomplished with access to a newspaper site such as Newspapers.com. Obituaries will list family members and give you a starting point. Newspapers.com can be accessed for free if you live near a FamilySearch Center. There are nine FamilySearch Centers in Poland. To find them search here.

Moim celem jest odszukanie/znalezienie osób, które jeszcze żyje.(2.3 pokolenie) Znalazłam zdjęcia grobu, na cmentarzu Cheektowaga/hrabstwo Erie,na którym jest pochowana Karolina i jej syn Wiliam. Skontaktowałam się z firmą Find a Grave,jednak oni nie mają kontaktu z dalszą rodziną Karoliny.

Google translation from Polish
"My goal is to find/find people who are still alive. (2.3 generation) I found photos of the grave in the Cheektowaga/Erie County cemetery where Caroline and her son William are buried. I contacted Find a Grave, but they have no contact with Karolina's extended family."
